Hi

I;ve just got a Acer 8930G T9400 Laptop. I mainly wanted to be able to play around with Virtual Machines ready for the upcomming Windows 7. Unfortunately I've hit a problem I neevr expected, the bios is rubbish!!! It have very few options, no Advanced menu and no option to turn on Hardware Virtualization. The Bios is: Insyde H20 Rev 3.5 and I was wondering is there anyway of seeing the hidden meus which my googling has suggested may be there (or at least on some Acer laptops with the same brand of bios) or to just enable Virtualization on the thing (I know this has been asked here and on other forums many times, with no answer for this particular brand of BIOS, but it's worth a try).

Any help at all would be great.

I have the same machine and have the same problem. DId you get anywhere with your enquiries? Sent a note to ACER who said they only support Vista via their BIOS and won't be updating to include VT. The BIOS is crap anyway.
